Rapid City's New Road.

Rapid City, Oak, May 16-At q
meeting of the Rapid City board OF
trade this evening E. B. Chapman,
formerly a resident of Omaha, o q
Rapid City man, made a proposition
substantially thus: He agrees to build
a line of narrow gauge road and
thoroughly equip the same to such a
point west of Rapid City as may be
settled by a survey, Rapid City to pay
him q bonus of $500 per mile for thirty
miles, to be in operation eighteen months
from date. or in November, 1883. A
resolution was adopted by the board
accepting the proposition and
the money was nearly all subscribed in
the room, over $4,000 being raised.
The road will run through a of the
richest mineral districts In the Black
Hills, tapping several valuable mines.
Mineral of all kinds, building stone, and
lumber lies On the route. The western
terminus will be in the Gil fields of
Wyoming. The road is to be called the
Rapid City, Wyoming & Western. Chap
man agrees to commerce active opera
tions on the construction this week.
The enterprise is generally considered
the most important yet preached in the
Hills, The citizens Of this place are
feeling good.

Am Old Timer,s Yarn.

Rapid City Republican: Louis La
Plaunt-I was in the Black Hills thirty
two years ago in the employ of the
American fur company. We camped on
Rapid creek many times and on the
very spot where the city now stands.
The Indians brought in nugg cts of gold
and sold them to us for trinkets. 1
knew Father De Smet and talked
with him many times. He was,
in those early days, aware of the
existence OF gold and kept is
q secret for fear of exciting the
cupidity of the whites. The mountain
of gold which has been tradition OF the
Hills for years, arising from the reports
OF DeSmet, has never been found and
perhaps does not exist, but I have seer
many old miners who are hopeful yet OF
locating it. Long before the Hills were
open to settlement a friend of mine came
into my camp sick. He had just returned
from the Hills and informed me where
he had found large quantities of gold.
He said he had filled a tin pail with the
dust, but owing to his weak condition
he was unable to bring it away, and
buried it. He told me where it was
buried beneath o tree on the margin OF
q small lake. i have never had time TO
hunt for it but / think it could be found
somewhere in the vicinity OF Fort Meade.
